Saud bin Muhammad bin Ali bin Abdullah bin Jassim bin Muhammed Al Thani (28 February 1966 – 9 November 2014)〔 was a Qatari prince who served as minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage. By the turn of the 21st century, Shaikh Sa’ud had established an international reputation as an avid art collector, both for his own collection as well as those of several state-owned museums he oversaw in Qatar. As Minister of Culture, Arts, and Heritage from 1997, he was entrusted with creating the collections to fill an ambitious program of world-class museums in Qatar, including a Museum of Islamic Art a combined Qatar National Library and Natural History Museum, a Museum of Photography,〔(Death of Sheikh Saud bin Mohammed Al-Thani, aged 48 ) Posted by Michael Pritchard on November 10, 2014 at 21:00.

Al Thani founded the Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation (AWWP), a private conservation and endangered species breeding center in Qatar, which focuses on breeding and preservation of rare bird species, particularly the Spix's macaw. Al Wabra is also an important centre for endangered Arabian species such as the sand gazelle and Arabian oryx The Sheikh also founded the Al-Thani Awards in 2000.〔(Al-Thani Awards )〕 It claims to be the biggest photography competition in the Middle-East with roughly 54,000 entrants in 2010.
